Every month the Undergraduate Programs Unit will highlight an Ambassador(s) that has contributed to the Schulich and York Community by demonstrating leadership, professionalism and/or outstanding achievement. For the first installment of the Ambassador of the Month, we couldn’t pick just one. So in no particular order, here are your Ambassadors of the Month for October:

Maria Valela, BBA ’13

As the VP of Operations for the Undergraduate Business Council (UBC), Maria Valela was responsible for organizing a safe and fun Social Orientation for Frosh Week…and she didn’t disappoint. Maria set the framework to ensure that the Class of 2016 would have a Week they wouldn’t forget. Working with Schulich/York staff and some amazing Schulich students, Maria’s attention to every detail did not go unnoticed. With a supportive and enthusiastic crew to support her huge responsibility, there is no surprise that this may just have been the best Frosh yet.

Alex Krivocheiko, BBA ’13

Fourth year BBA student, Alex Krivocheiko could have easily chosen to be part of the Frosh exec team or focus on his last year without re-living Frosh Week. Yet, Alex couldn’t help but get in the action as a Frosh Leader and welcome the 2016’s in style. Alex’s enthusiasm and leadership is unparalleled. Always there to give a word of advice to new Leaders and encourage his Froshies to push their boundaries, Alex demonstrated the fine balance between professionalism and silliness that made him the people’s choice for Male Frosh Leader of the Year.

Alessandra Tartaglia, BBA ’14

Varsity athlete Alessandra Tartaglia is no stranger to competition and fired her Froshies up for some healthy gameplay during Frosh Week. It was hard to stand out from the crowd this year with such an outstanding group of Frosh Leaders but Alessandra managed to rise to the top as Female Frosh Leader of the Year with her endless energy, guidance and sportswomanship.

 

It would be remiss of us if we didn’t give an honourable mention to Mishaela Kostesky, iBBA ’16 and John Liu, BBA ’16 for their great attitude and school spirit which led to their crowning of Froshette and Froshie of the Year.

Congratulations to all of our outstanding Ambassadors! The Class of 2016 along with the rest of the Schulich Community thank you.
